You will enjoy them... I know I'm telling you how to suck eggs.. but make sure they are warmed up before leaning! I low sided on a set last year due to this and bumpy ground..

Cheers. Definitely feels sportier! Taking it easy while I get used to it (and of course scrubbing the tyres in) as feels like a different bike.

MOT today, needed to adjust the headlight beam slightly upwards due to the rear being jacked up and found a tiny amount of play in the rear hub bearings.

Passed OK but now looking at the bits to order to sort the play - 2 x seals, 2 x bearings and 1 x lock nut = £85 + post :shock:
